Client Overview:

Eagers Automotive, a leading automotive dealership group in Auckland, partnered with our energy management services in March 2023 to optimize their utility operations and reduce costs.

Challenges:

Prior to our engagement, Eagers Automotive faced challenges in managing their energy costs effectively and lacked a comprehensive strategy for energy conservation. Additionally, they sought to streamline their telecommunication services across their extensive network of branches.

Solutions Implemented:

Procurement Optimization:

We facilitated immediate savings of approximately 25% during the procurement stage by leveraging our expertise and industry connections. By comparing their total energy cost pricing against the market optio

Carbon Emission Offset:

Recognizing the importance of environmental sustainability, we organized NZECS (New Zealand Emission Carbon Offset Certificates) against Eagers Automotive's energy usage, contributing to their efforts in offsetting carbon emissions.

Telecommunication Services Management:

Our team project managed the procurement and renegotiation of mobile and broadband services for the entire group, comprising over 400 connections. Through skillful negotiation with the incumbent provider, we achieved significant cost savings of 53% while ensuring quality service delivery.

Energy Conservation Training:

To promote energy conservation practices within the organization, we conducted staff training sessions at the North Harbour Ford branch. As a result, energy usage decreased by an impressive 30% over the past 8 months, demonstrating the efficacy of our initiatives.

Energy Monitoring Project:

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency, we initiated an energy monitoring project aimed at installing energy monitoring and control sensors in each showroom. Upon completion and rollout across all branches, Eagers Automotive will gain real-time insights and centralized control over energy usage, enabling them to manage peak/off-peak patterns effectively through a centralized dashboard.
